APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CORRECTING ERROR IN STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE - Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for correcting an error in a stereoscopic image. The apparatus includes two cameras, a region extraction unit, a phase difference calculation unit, an error value extraction unit, and an error analysis unit. The cameras capture left and right images forming the stereoscopic image. The region extraction unit extracts the main regions of interest from each of the images. The phase difference calculation unit calculates the difference in phase between the main regions of interest of the left image and the main regions of interest of the right image. The error value extraction unit extracts the value of a camera disposition error, corresponding to locations of the two cameras, based on the difference in phase. The error analysis unit determines whether the value of the camera disposition error is within a set range, and corrects the error in the stereoscopic image.
